Being a Brit, I know that it's just a stereotype, Britain is nothing like what Americans think, personally, I think the stereotype is taken from the victorian era, where it was impolite to say leg (learn't that off horrible histories). Here are some stereotypes I've heard of:

  1. Brits are extremly polite
  2. Brits have bad teeth
  3. We drink tea every 2 seconds
  4. We all talk like the queen mening we never use slang.

Brits are not obsessed with tea, and we have great dentists, were not all polite, and we use lots of slang, so yeah, just a stereotype.

Did the people that signed the declaration of independence get accused of treason?

I think they did, but they could not be killed until the war against the British was over, since they were saying they were Americans, not British, and therefor was not "doing treason". If the British won the war, they would have been killed. But they didn't. So the people lived. I think. (The people did live.)
